religious discrimination and support faith and belief communities in working
together we will: Continue support for the Interfaith Network to promote strong

aimed at tackling intolerance such as Show Racism the Red Card and the Anne
Frank Trust UK. Work closely with faith and community organisations, such as
the Community Security Trust (which works to protect the Jewish community
against anti-Semitic attacks) and the Muslim Council of Britain, to prevent
hate crime, including at places of worship like synagogues and mosques. We are
determined to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim hate in the UK and
internationally.

The
recent Islamist extremist attacks on journalists in Europe are a sharp reminder
of the need to protect freedom of speech and belief internationally. We will
appoint an Ambassador-level Champion for Freedom of Belief to drive British
diplomatic efforts in this field, and we will campaign for the abolition of
blasphemy, sedition, apostasy and criminal libel laws worldwide, having already
been responsible for ending them in this country.
